Metal in oil

Look closer. There's a smaller inner spring on the inside of the dampers.


Yup, I see them now.

I take that shitty little wire damper out. All they do is eat retainers and fill the engine with dirt.

So it’s a double with a damper. It must be a cheap spring otherwise they’d be way too much for what the OP is doing.

Or replace that spring with a good single spring.
